I read a cute little social media chain today that involved writing something about yourself based on each letter of the alphabet. So, my challenge became thinking of a book I’ve read that starts with every letter of the alphabet.

Here’s my list:

A: Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

B: The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

C: The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas

D: Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison

E: The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan

F: The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman

G: The Giver by Lois Lowry

H: Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling

I: Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice

J: Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton

K: Kushiel’s Dart by Jacqueline Carey

L: Lightening by Dean Koontz

M: Matilda by Roald Dahl

N: The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

O: Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz

P: Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel

Q: Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking by Susan Cain

R: Red Dwarf: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers by Grant Naylor

S: The Schopenhauer Cure by Irvin D. Yalom

T: Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

U: An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness by Kay Redfield Jamison

V: The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice

W: We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver

X: Xenocide by Orson Scott Card

Y: Your Heart Belongs to Me by Dean Koontz

Z: The Zero by Jess Walter

This was surprisingly more difficult than I thought it would be. My personal challenge was to pick books that were either hugely influential in my life, or that I absolutely adored. I didn’t have many options in some letters of the alphabet. I’m looking at you X, Y, and Z! There were a few letters that had so many selections that I found myself wanting to pick two or three books. Oh L and S, why do you have to have so many options?! *huffy sigh* Self restrictions are sometimes the worst sort of restrictions.
